Hi! Good question, I have wondered myself, as I have a couple of times been blessed(?)/ attacked(?) with that kind of serial recommendations, also for texts in Swedish, which people from random countries usually don’t master. I have mailed them and asked what they exactly are interested in and if I can help them - no reply.

I think a fast-multi-recommender wants the recommended author to recommend back in the same manner, to increase RG score. An invitation To cooperate in RG scoring. I wont do that, since I have friends and followers and only want to recommend what I think is really interesting or valuable and in connection with my own field of expertise.

Just reflections.

Mirna Leko Šimić surely as @Anders has replied the only motivating factor is RG score or probably in a lighter vein, they could be humanoids....

Yes, I agree with @Anders...people from different countries recommending my research in Croatian...I just hope they haven't used Google translate to read it!

Dear discussants,

I try to only recommend what I find it interesting and only after to reading it. I think we should be fair when we make a recommndation of a reading, a post, a proverb, and so forth.

Best regards.

Hi. Good question and suggestions for the people. Thanks

Mirna Leko Šimić and Anders Norberg

personally I experienced in some questions that there are some (looks like students) immediately push recommendatio for some researchers with high RG values. (And particular person follows the researcher and add recommendations despite the content of the answer).

i thought sometime they want becoming friendly or looking for next step education entry opportunities etc.).

However, there are many cases recommendations reflect the quality of the content.

anyway all the time I follow the scientific commonsens than recommendations.

Please see this question and highest rated answer. you may feel there is no value in RG recommendations. So, similarly RG score values makes less meaningful if things happen like this.

@Amila Abeynayaka I see from your link that the all eleven of the recommenders of the vacuous statement come from the same university (Baghdad)!

Good question.

yes Ian Kennedy

i saw similar several cases.

Agreed logically and ideally. Because recommendation means endorsement of the research by the scholars to promote such areas of study. But sometimes, some titles of the research may also be recommended based on their significance. So I believe that it is not necessary to go through the entire article before its recommendation.

A sort of evaluation in between... some prefer to read the full text, others stick with the abstract and few got interested only by the title...

Even if it is in a foreign languege which is highly unlikely one understands? I go a recomendation from Iraq on article in Croatian! I keep wondering how is it possible...

May be the researcher used google translate or knows foreign language... anw you can always send a private msg to this specific researcher asking for an explanation...

That's true...I mean asking for explanation..for the rest..I don't know how likely it is.

I try to be fair and recommend what I judged to worth.

I think that should be the norm for everyone. Otherwise we inflate and decrease the value of recommendations. Thank you Elhadi.

I do not have idea, the way in which people recommend an answer. It seems that it is not by its quality

I compeltely agree with you Erik Cuevas. I even think people recommend in order to get the same for the authors thay recommened... not very scientific, I am afraid

I am not particularly interested in the quantity of recommendations, but I would like to know who recommended my text. Is it possible for me to see who recommended my text?

Of course, you have if when you scroll down statistics.

Sometimes it comes to my head that some recommendations are less a function of what is said and more a function of whom says it. And this is a shame.

Dear Mario, I think that we are all interested, however minimal it may, in getting recommendations. You can see in your RG profile those who recommend or cite your work.

Dear Mario Radovan

I have recommended your post.

You can see n-recooemendations(s) below your post.

You can lick on it. All the best.

Rad Maythil - Thank you. In fact, this is pretty obvious, so that I asked a superfluous question.
